小さい子供連れでの1泊でした。チェックインの時間15:00に着いたのですが部屋の清掃がすんでいなくて1時間ほど待たされました。ラウンジがあってウェルカムドリンクが提供されていましたが1時間の待ち時間は少し長すぎると思いました。お風呂は綺麗で快適、朝ごはんのビュッフェも美味しかったです。少し奥まったところにあるので館内にコンビニか軽食を買えるところがあると良いと思いました。近くに食べ物を買うところもなくひとり七千円のビュッフェの夕食しかなくて少し困りました。結局は国道を歩いてイタリアンレストランに行きピザをテイクアウトしました。次はきっと泊まらないと思います。

Nice resort facilities

Unfortunately I was stuck with a smoking room, which smelled..well as you'd expect. Ignoring that, it was clean and comfortable. The room was decently spacious given the price. Faciltiies were good as it is a resort hotel. Being Urabandai, they aren't that ready for international tourists so some basic Japanese would go a long way.

An OK place to stay, safe and clean but dated

Overall the stay was ok. They had free hot tea which was great when it was so cold out, but the room was very dated. Also, (just FYI) the hotel staff doesn't speak much English and you need a dinner reservation if you want to eat at the hotel- becides a little restaurant near the back of the hotel (which was good!)
